Is it permitted to drive straddling a longitudinal broken line that separates lanes?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Longitudinal broken lines serve to delimit lanes for the purpose of guiding traffic. As a general rule, every driver must drive within their lane. However, it is permitted to straddle or cross a broken line only when necessary, for example, to prepare for or perform a maneuver such as overtaking, changing lanes, or moving laterally for safety. It is incorrect to drive continuously over the line, as this poses a road safety risk.
